Plexiglass paintings

Here are some new pieces that I've been working on. They each consist of eight layers of 1/4 inch plexiglass, with acrylic paint on the separate layers. These are the first of many more to come. As you can see, they are a challenge to photograph, and I realized that trapped dust becomes a big problem. But I'm looking forward to working these issues out and creating some larger ones. These are all 12 x 12 inches.

LOVE IT!!!!! I had this idea a few years ago and never acted on it. I imagined building a sort of shadow box frame with slots cut in the sides for each layer- once the top is in place a possible solution for keeping dust out?
